Thanks, I like on my toes more but because of USAPL and USPF I have to go flat-footed.

Notes: Felt very strong today with pressing, savickas press just felt awesome.

Tried doing some full cleans, but kept missing the "catch". My actual clean is looking good, I'm just having problems opening my hand and resting it on my shoulders. The one I did catch wasn't on my shoulders and landed on toes. Need a lot of work there.

Was way to tired to clean 230, just had no power left.

You did 2 sets of 21 chins? That's some going there mate. You're modest which is good to see but Superman is crying right now because he wishes he was you

Lovely work MAB. Are you still following the loading/deloading set up?

If only Kuyt, no it was push ups. But I shall try that for you next time just so I can earn that awesome comment!

Thanks Fazc, kindof its more of a go by feeling. I have 3 days a week that don't change, but if I start to feel tired then I only do 4 days and not 5 and combine the two keeping the most important lifts. I have only had to do that once, but for the most part I feel okay.

Notes: Felt alright today really wanted that second rep without the slight hitch with 535. I'm going to stay with that weight till I can do 4-5 reps.

Squats were a war today, the last two reps on the first set were both long grinders.

I don't know what got into me with the last sets of shrugs, I had done the first 20 reps in about 45 seconds and still had about 3 mins left on my song for the mp3 so just kept going in double and single format. I may have gotten to 50 if my song had been longer!

Strong work as always mab! Full clean is a bit tricky untill you get the timing right. Keep on smashing hombre!

[Kuytrider]

That's one sick looking workout right there mate and I mean literally. I could foresee a sick bucket being used by yours truly if I attempted all that!

Conditioning + strength = win

[BigJosh]

Big ass freakin' session mab!! Huge deads, followed by some pretty heavy squattin'. Big shrugs as well.
Serious weight being moved in here!

[Pull14]

Strong work as always MAB. Keep it up with those cleans, they'll fall into place eventually...
